Default RE: Horton Crossbows?

my horton ultra sl i bought for 150 dollars.
it is over warranty now,new in 1999.
it was only shot 35 times and limbs split.
my horton rope cocker bro while pulling,so i dont know if that did it.

horton said just sitting all those years strung could cause the limbs to split..

CHECK YOUR LIMBS ...

i was not too happy because of only shooting it 35 times..

but it was accurate as heck, at 20 yds you could cover the holes with dime..

also arrows i was using xx75 lite 2 ,horton did away with them for heavier arrow.
i blamed the arrows, they blamed the AGE of bow..

i think if you could let pressure off limbs, it would last a lot longer..only guess.
also i dont like replacing string/cablesat bow shop..

i would get a recurve bow if i was you,like the excaliber,but what do i know anyhow......
